Roy Rogers and Trigger #120

This December 1957 Dell issue brings the "King of the Cowboys" to rugged canyon terrain, with a photo cover showing Roy Rogers crouched against a rocky cliff, pistol drawn and a loyal German Shepherd by his side — tension and western grit written all over the scene. The cover teases a mystery straight from the frontier, promising that "a hidden clue conceals 'Adobe Gold'" inside. With a dime cover price and a story crafted by writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist Tom Massey, this is a fine snapshot of Dell's western storytelling at its most adventurous.
